Steven Kwan has been named the Blue Jays' top trade target by Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller. The Guardians outfielder would fix Toronto's on-base problem overnight.

Kwan is busy for now. He went 2-for-4 and scored a run Sunday in Cleveland's 3-1 ALCS loss to the Rays.

Once that run ends, he heads into his final year of arbitration, projected to earn around $11 million before reaching free agency.

Miller argued the Guardians "love to trade away players once they start getting expensive." He wrote that Cleveland might move Kwan if Toronto "makes it worth their while."

The fit is obvious. Toronto's left fielders combined for a .325 OBP and a .716 OPS in 2026, both below league average.

Kwan posted a .382 OBP this season. Only six players in baseball were better.

Steven Kwan's Gold Glove pedigree adds to the appeal

The Blue Jays badly need that kind of on-base skill. Their .310 team OBP ranked ahead of only three clubs.

The glove helps, too. He won a Gold Glove in each of his first four seasons and is a finalist again this year.

Miller also called Anthony Santander "a fully sunk cost," which explains why left field is such a priority. Myles Straw led the position with 74 appearances and is unlikely to return.

The catch is power. He hit just three home runs in 2026, and Toronto finished last in the majors in homers.

So is he the answer? He's part of it.

Trade for Kwan, then still go get a power bat. Pairing his on-base skills with someone like Seiya Suzuki or Randy Arozarena gives Toronto both halves of what it's missing, and one year of control shouldn't cost a top prospect.

He's the table-setter, not the main course. You still need someone in the kitchen cooking the steak.

The Cubs loom as competition, with Ian Happ and Suzuki heading to free agency.

Cleveland's playoff run has to end first, one way or another. Once it does, Ross Atkins should be first in line, before the Cubs turn it into a bidding war.
